ALAS, FOR THE BUCKET SHOPS.

ALAS! FOR THE BUCKET SHOPS.
1t is cold year for the bucket shop in
dustry, and it will be strange if it is able
to endure the rigor much longer. All
along the line legislatures ere taking a
whack at the bucket shops. The Missouri
Legislature IS now considering bill that
is nearly twice rs severe as the Texas
measure in the same line. There can be
but one solution of this certai nlY general
movement to do away with the bucket
shops, or so environ them with restric-
tons that they will have to go out Of
business of their own accord, and it is
that the people are opposed to them
that tells the whole tale, and legislators
only obey what they feel sure is the will
of their constituents. The country
voters are especially opposed to the in
situations. Waving the question of their
characters as gambling institutions, the
farmer regards them as his natural enemy
because they either depress the price or
of life. This is his theory, and all the
arguments that can be adduced to the
contrary will not shake it. Even with
town people, who are not accustomed 10
care much about such things, the bucket
shop is regarded as simply form of
semi-respectable gambling, and except on
the part of its hsbitues and patrons it is
not regarded with any special favor or
sympathy: propositions to do away with
it are received with stolid Indifference by
the majority of people. All these facts,
the feeling in town and country, go to
show that the bucket shop has no hold
whatever on popular favor and is not re-
gerded as of use or benefit in legitimate
business way. 1t is not ct all strange
therefore, that legislatures all over the
country are turning their hands to the
task of getting rid of the institution.

CINCINNATI now has "casus belli,"
and England may begin to quake in her
military boots. An Englishman on the
police force of that city called in aid and
arrested whole African congregation for
breach of peace. Mistaking their fervency
and peculiar methods of worship for e
violation of good order, he caused the
whole company to spend the night in the
calaboose. OF course they were released
next morning, but the dissatisfied wards
OF the nation are clamorous for war to
avenge the insult offered them.

a Texan Pilgrimage TO Rsagan's Bathtub.

Dispatch TO Baltimore American {Rep.
Among the TeXans-and there are near
ly 100 here-are number Of very intelli-
gent men. One of the first things they
inquired about was as to the truth of the
Reagan bath incident. One of the Texans
remarked to-day that Judge Reagan had
written private letter 10 g friend IN
Texas denying in toto the bath story.
This letter had been used with great effect
in the senatorial campaign. Nothing
would satisfy them but visit to the his
tOric bathtub. The polite elevator msn
on the House side escorted the delegation
to the regions below and showed them
the identical bsthtub, and Furthermore
the Texans heard the story from the
swell attendant of the congressional
baths. They expressed g desire to have
a photograph of the tub to take home to
prove the truth OF the statements in the

kissed him several times. All the love be-
tween these brothers, despite the disparity
in their ages, was indeed beautiful Nirgil's
love for Milton was like that Of a father for
his child-deep, lasting, unsel6sh while the
little fellow looked up to his brother with
the same confidence with which little fell
low child looks up to his father.
Virgil drew up chair beside his mother,
and, placing his brother on his knee, said to
the lady:

Mrs. Paine, after short silence.

Mr.. MorrisS gave me employment. He and

the kind fatherly way in which he treated

S SAVANNAH.

Savannah the city that sits by The sea-
Where Oglethorpa founded a homs for the free
Where Whitedeld to far-famed Bethesda gave
birth,
Is one of the loveliest cities on earth
+ dream OF her river Astounding with harques,
Revisit her avenues, squares and her parks,
Her homes oil the living, her tombs of the dead,
And wake in the light which such memories
she'd
Her annals are records Of gradual growth,
Tnhastened by squirt and unhindered by sloth
In quiet and conflict, in darkness and light,
Her sons have been steadfast in duty and right.
Her citizens shone in colonial fame.
And shared revolution, yet suffered no shame;
Rpveling the old they reloiced in the new,
For Britain was false and America true.
When cities far North held in bondage the
slave,
Savannah her sanction reluctantly gave;
And when from the nation the evil was thrust,
Savannah was foremostto rise from the dust.
When civil contention with swords in it's mouth,
Had left il confusion the desolate South,
the sons of Savannah though beaten were
brave,
And buried their slain in the patriots grave.
When pestience gathered with poisonous breath
And raned on the city it's pitileSS death,
The victims succumbed without cowardly dread,
And those who survived were baptized for the
dead"

For thee Will fervently pray till the last;

At Bismarck on the 5th met. in cele-
brstion Of Arbor Day procession
formed Of the citizens proceeded to the
grove south OF the city TO procure
younc trees 10 be trsnsplanted along
the streets and avenues of the city and
about the numerous handsome resi-
dences. No sooner did the club leave
the city than it Was followed by the
citizens, every man, woman and child
taxi ng advantage of the balmy zephyrs
and glorious sunlight to enjoy day
OF gala festivities and holiday rejuven-
alton. By diligept counting IL was
ascertsined that at least 1000 people
were In the procession, and the scene,
as they returned laden with budding
twigs to heed the proclamation OF
Governor Church and decorate the
city with besuteous trees, was inspir-
ing and lDspiritiDg. Arriving in the
city the multitude plunged into the
work Of planting trees, at the close ot
which work a grand Arbor Day pic
mic was held in the park. where
novel canopy was formed from the
broken twigs and limbs Of thousands
OF trees that bad been planted.
The example is worthy OF emulation
and 1t is to be hoped that the citizens
OF eastern Montana and especially this
county will follow IL when our Arbor
Day arrives, May 18th. The puelie
school will have holiday on that o.
casion and some steps should be taken
to make the day worthy of remember

What 1, being done towards Stamping out
the Disease In Cook County.
The state live stock commission, in
cooperation with the national bureau
Of animal industry, is energetically
pushing the work OF ersdicating that
fatal disease, pleuro-pneumonia, In
Cook county. So far as can be learned
the disease has been con fined TO the
present quarantine district, which is
located north Of Twenty-senond street.
and In parts Of Cicero, Jefferson and
Lake View. During the past week
400 animals have been slaughtered by
direction Of the authorities, and out OF
this number seventy-fve clearly au-
thenticated csses OF pleuro-pneumonia
were discovered. The commission is
determined 10 put q stop to the indis-
criminate peddlipg Of cows In the city
and for purpose Of insuring greater
safety to the buyers OF these animals
have leased lot % ground located be-
tween Bloomingdale road and Cly-
bourn place and Tbroop and Wood
streets, where all cattle coming into
the city from the north and west
will he taken at once. then carefully
examined by competent inspectors,
after which the animals will be offici-
ally tagged and allowed to be taken to
the barns Of the purchasers. The
stock yards will probably be placed in
charge Of an inspector this week, who
will examine all cows sold there for
dairy purposes. The sale OF mich
cows at THE place are said to average
about forty day. and il is deemed Of
the utmost importance that the ami.
mails should be examined before being
taken away. No disease has been dis.
covered at the stock yards thus far.
but the commissioners will not relax
their wstchfuluess over the animals
received at that point. They will also
urge upon the mayor the absolute ne
cessity Of instrUctiDg the police to
stop every person driving COW
through the streets of Chicago, and re-
quiring them to show permit for
moving the animals, issued by the
commission, or failing TO show such
authority Ia arrest the driver and send
the animal to the quarantine Prof.
Law says that with proper assistance
from the authorities, the disease can be
brought under control and stamped
out within three months, and 20 effect
uslly eau this work he done that not
a single diseased animal will be found
in Cook county after date. Prof. Law
4 will remain in Chicago until S.ptem-
Der, and he thinks by that time every
case Of pleuro-pnemouia will have
been discovered and every infected
animal destroyed.-Chicsgo Times.
